Abstract

Abstract The stabilization of human interferon with disaccharides and optionally bile acids or bile acid derivatives.

Description

2 ~

The pcesent invention is concerned with the stabilization of l~u~vcyte interferon (IFN-a), ; 5 especially in the form of lyophiliza~es, using ; disa~(harides and opti.onally bile acids or bile acid derivatives.

Under IFN-a thece is to be undHr~tood a body--specific pro~;e;n having antiviral and immunoregulatory ~t~livity. The antiviral effect is acli~i.eved not by a direct i.n~luence on the viruses themselves, but by an activity on thei.c target cells in the sense of a protecti.on against the viral. infection. In addition to the ctntiviral 1~ ac~i.vL~y, a-interferon c~trl exert objectifiable effects on cancer tumors, which makes it suitable for use in cancer ~:herapy, and it in~luences ~he immune system of the body in that e.g. it activa~es macrophages and Nl~ cells ~nd increases the exere6sion of various immunologically si.gnificant cons~.l.uents of the cell membrane.

Thank6 to recombinarlt D~A technology, IFN- can today be preeared in a microbiological lllarlner ;.n amounts which hltherto could not be made available by isolation : 25 ~rom natural material (leucocytes, lym~hocytes) and ptlrification in ~pite of the greatest efforts.

~, This new technology has opened for the f i.c~t time a w~y ~or the intensive clinical testing and possible wide therapelltic use o~ IFN-~ and has made posr,ible an adequate supply o~ the acl.;.ve sub~l:ance for persons r3e~3~1ng a treatmerll, with ~,he acti.ve sllb~tctnce.

I~ has now emerged that IFN-a in pure form is not completely stable ~ind suffers loss of its biological aotivity ducing stocage.

Diffecent adjuvants have therefore already been ll~ied for the stabilization o~ IFN-a. A certain ~itabilization of IFN-a has been ~t~hieved by the addil;ion of glycine (r,ee e.g. publ. PCT Application 86/00531 and European Patent, Publ. No. 82 481), whereby, however, albumin is prefeeably simultaneously added.

In efforts to achie~e a good stabilization of XFN-a over the longest possible period while avoiding the use of high-molecular compounds such a6 ~;e~rum albumin, gelatine, dextean or starch derivatives, it has bet?n found that this is successful using d;saccharides and optionally bil~e acids oe bile acid tleriva~ives.

The presen~ invention is accordingly o~oncecned with composition~ ;pecially in ~he form of lyophilizates, whi~h ~on~ain a disacchacide and optionally bile acids or bile acid derivatives, a~ well as a process for their manufao~ re which compcises treating an IFN-a solution with a disaccharide and optionally bile at~id~ oc bile acid derivatives and, if desired, lyophilizing the sollltion obtained. The eresen~ invention is al~io concerned with phaemaceutisal preparations based on the compositions in accordance with the invention as well as the use of disaccharides and optionally bile aoid~ or bile acid derivatives foc the ~itabiliza~ion of IFN-.

The composition6 in accordtlrlce wil;h the inverltion can be uned for the manlJfacturt? of a ph.lrmaceutical ~ceparation foe the theea~y or proptlylaxis o~ a lacge 3j5 numbec of in~ections and immunoregulatoey anomalies, especially neoplasms.

, ' ~: . ;:

- 3 - 2~ 6 The stabilization can be applied to natural oc cecombinant IFN-a (r-IFN-). Recomhinant IFN-aA
(r-IFN-~A) is an c~pecially pceferr~d IFN-~ in connection with the present invention. The content of IFN-a in the compositions in accordance with the inverltion is not critical. The concentral:ion range ex~ends ov~c mor~ than the power of ten and is limited at the uppee end ~;sentially only by the ~olubility of IFN-a.
Irl the ca~.e of human IFN-a ~:he~e come into consideration, foc example, concHrl~:cations up to 5~lO8 international units (I.U.)/ml, with a preferred range being 0.l x lO to l x lO I.U.fml, especially l x LO to 5 x lO I.U./ml.

The di~accharide, p~eferably lacto6e or sa~harose, is added ~o the IFN-~ so1llt:ion in a concentration of 0.5%
to L5% (wt./vol.), preferabl~ 5% (wt./vol.).

The bile acids or ~he bile acid deri~atives can be e.g. cholic acid, deoxycholic acid, glycodeoxycholic acid, taucodeoxycholic acid, chenodeoxycholic acid, glycoc~l~nodeoxycholic acid, taurochenodeoxycholic acid, glycocholic acid or tallrocholic acid, wi~ih glycocholic acid being especially preeerred. Tt is a~ded to the IFN-a solution in a concentration Oe O.Ol to 3%
(wt./vol.), preEerably 0.5~ (wt./vol.).

Further adjuvants for the pH-adjustment, e.g. NaOH, pH-buffering, e.g. ~hosphate bu~fer and citrate hu~fer, isotonization, e.g. sodium chloeide, and preservation of ~he ~ceyar-a~lon, e.g. me~hyl p-hydroxybenzoate an~ propyl p-hydroxybenzoate, a~ well a6 Eor strengthening the structure oE the lyophiliz-l~e, e.g. glyrine, can also be added.

Particular~ of the invention are described in the Eollowirlg ~xamples.

The r-IF~-A used in the Example6 can be ob~ained in pure form according to known pcocedures de~cribed in the lite~ature or according to procedu~e~ obvious to a per60n skilled in the art.

In order to determine the antiviral activity of the r-IFN-aA, there was used a cytopathological te~t with MDBK
(Madison Darby Bovine Kidney) cells and VSV (ve~icular stomatiti6 virus) viruses, ~hich has been described by Rubins~ein e~ al. [J. Virol. 37, 755-758 (1981)]. MDBK
cells and VSV viruses are gene~ally acce6~ible and can be obtained e.g. from the American ~ype Culture Collection (ATCC) (MDBK: ATCC Nos. CCL 21 and CRL 6071: VSV: ATCC
No. VR-1 59).

For the stability testing, solutions with r-IFN-aA
and the additives under inve~tigation were lyophilized and stored at different temperature~ (5, 25~, 35, 45, 55 and 65C). After fixed time interval6 the antiviral activity of the IFN-aA still pre~en~ in the lyophilizates was determined.

The following Examples illustrate the invention without limitin~ it.

ExamPle 1 3 mio. I.U. of r-IFN-aA were taken up in 1 ml of water containing hu~an ~erum albumin, glycine or lacto6e and optionally furthec adjuvants ~see Table 1). The solutions obtained were sterile-filteced (membrane filter, 0.~ ~m poce size) and loa~ed in 10 ml glass vials in a 3r steam-sterilized freeze-dryer. After free2ing the solutions at -40C during 4 h the primary drying of the lyophilization proce~s wa~ carried at about -30C under a prefisurQ of 0.1 mbar during lg h. Subsequen~ly, the : .:- . , ., ' :, ' : : ' : . , `~, ;:'~ ' -: :. .

secondary drying was carried out under a full vacuum at ~20C during about 4 h. The glass vials were closed wi~h suitable aluminium caps in the freeze-dryer under a N2 atmosphere. They weEe subsequently subjected to diffeLen~ ::
stability tests, the results of which ace compiled in Table 1.

The best results were achieved with the lactose--containing lyophilizate (see column 3). This preparation exhibited an outstanding stability even after long-term stocage at the stocage temperature of 45C. which is almost prohibitive for IFN-a. ~his result could also be confirmed unequivocally in experiments with lyophilizates containing 1 mio. I.U. of ~-IFN-a~ ~see Table 2).
